Plenty of autumnal vibes in this month's show. Expect subconscious trances, paranormal investigations, oodles of tape murk and lost voices lurking beneath beds of shellac crackle. I hope you enjoy!

Repeat show from the ROS vaults this month:

"...a darker turn this month to showcase artists that have plunged the depths of human misery. Death, disease, depression and moral relativism are broad themes in this mix".

Enjoy 🙏

Memory is the dominant theme throughout this month's mix, bolstered by a wide array of organic drones, fading melodies, distant voices, pops, crackles and all manner of subconscious spillage.

I hope you enjoy! 🙏

Past and present melt into each other for this months show.
Pipe organ drones, church bells, processed 78s and organic textures are weaved together to create a heady stomp down memory lane.

I hope you enjoy! 🙏

This month's show is a meditation on 'entropy' - physicality and process is reflected throughout. Deteriorating source material is front and centre with sounds collapsing and falling apart at the seams.

Celebrating the imminence of things, how absences in our lives, upon reflection, can also offer a subtle joy that is transient and elusive. Harsher textures run alongside fragile, ambient passages in this month's mix
